Income While Waiting For SS Disabillity To Kick In.

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Little Egg Harbor Twp, NJ

We live in NJ. My husband has received conformation that he will be receiving SS disability, but has to wait 6 month before the first check will arrive. Does anyone know of any other benefits that he can apply for to help pay the bills these 6 month while he waits ?

If he is a veteran,call the VA or go to the nearest VA and talk to a service officer. If he is a Vietnam veteran, he needs to apply for benefits if he has PARKINSONS.

I have been looking into government grants. which we are entitled to. You also can hire a SSI lawyer. They can assist you in filing for the back pay. because it takes 6 months from the day he is awarded SSI. I wish I would have done this

Checked with Google .It doesn't know of any other benefits.Maybe your church? If he is member of a union?
A veteran ? Call the city or state maybe they have programs set uo to help pay your utility bills an get you set up on food stamps.These are all I can think of. If anyone that lives or has lived in Γ‘J. that knows of a way to help Dodi Know they would appreciate any information that you can give them Take Care God Bless Hugs πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member lives in N.J. Don't know if state rules are different. There may be things that you an I don't know about
If her husband is a veteran of the Vietnam War and has developed Parkinson's I understand that there is automatic help ( something pertaining to Agent Orange) Take Care God Bless Hugs πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
